Cody Bradford Activated, Starts Today for Texas vs. San Francisco
The Rangers bring back their breakout lefty after 13+ months away following an internal brace procedure on his left elbow.
Cody Bradford has been reinstated from the 60-day IL and is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Giants. He missed the full 2025 season recovering from an internal brace/UCL repair performed in late June 2024. Bradford posted a 3.54 ERA over 76.1 innings in his breakout 2024 campaign, featuring an elite 4.2% walk rate. His return is expected to shift Cal Quantrill back to a swing role.
